Hey you!! I was just reading your post on ivillage, and then I came here and noticed you lost 3.5 pounds!! That's awesome, and you're TOTALLY going in the right direction. I mean you only started a few weeks ago, and 1-2 lbs a week is all we can ask for!! Don't get discouraged girly!!! I KNOW it seems like that scale is taking it's sweet ol' time to budge, but slow and steady does it!! It really does. I've said it before on ivillage, put it in perspective. Even if you just lose 1lb a week, that's 52 pounds in a year!!! That's HUGE progress!! Keep on keepin on!!
